Disabled Fiance Has Taken These Meds For Ten Years And Now There Is A 180 Pill Limit?? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

My fiance has permanent spinal cord and nerve damage from a spinal fusion surgery in 2001. He was a very active, happy, outgoing person, now he lays in bed 24/7 and suffers. He has been on meds for a very long time and they have had to increase them due to his tolerance level. he has gone to the same Dr. and we have always used the same pharmacy. Today we went to his monthly visit and his Dr. said she had to cut his 360 methadone to 180, and his 240 30 mg oxycodone to 180. because the DEA has decided this is what he should take. She did not want to do it, but said the pharmacy would not fill it. We tried but she was right. they would not fill it. So we went back and got the 180 scripts but then she would not even fill those. His Dr.appt was on a Tuesday last month because of the holiday, but has always been on a monday before this. Even though it's 27 days they have always filled them before knowing that was his regular schedule, but not today. My worry is now that we had no problem getting the meds on Monday morning, but now we will have to try to find them on Tuesdays. Plus now he is going to be VERY sick, and probably suicidal. He was already miserable, and now he will probably be having withdrawels while taking his meds. So he will either just be sick OR take his meds the regular way and then run out halfway through the month. Then he will try to kill himself, he has tried before. Has anyone else been told they can only fill 180 pills of any kind of pain meds? This is so wrong for the DEA to do this to sick people that cannot help what has happened to them. I dont give a crap about any addicts or dealers, I only care about him And this is WRONG.

The reason you have to place a special order for your headache pills is because most pharmacies dont even carry them anymore..There are much better migraine elief medications to take that dont have the side effects, and are non narcotic. The medication you take not only has an opiate in it but ist also is a barbituate, and doctords hands are tied..I took fiocet for years and they did nothing for a REAL migraine. My guess is fiocet wont be around much longer. As for your rude comment concerning President Obama, you must not be reading the news, he has already made medications cheaper especially for seniors. Anyway this is not a thread about politics so go and talk about your hatred for our President on a polictical forum This forum is for patients who are surrering from chronic pain. Your post offends me so please refraine from being a bigot on this forum...

For Mac, your pharmacist is lying.. President Obamas heathcare bill has nothing to do with making itmhard for people to get the opiate pain relievers they need. You can however blame it on the Congress trying to make medications like vicodin a class 2 medication, President Obama has never uttered a word about making narcotics harder to get.I have some very close friends that go to pain manament and theynhave never had a problem..If you are so possitive our president has something to do with this, then you will have no problem showing me proff from a reliable source
